NCR PC'S

[Barton Fisk]

Forgive my ignorance, but I was just informed by NCR's PC support
line that the controller board in my NCR pc8 would only support
drives with a ST506 interface, and that ST412 would not work.

My question is: What is the difference between ST412 and St506?
Do these people know what they are talking about?

Also, I would like to hear from any NCR PC users out there about
problems you are having, or have had.

In particular, I would be interested in finding others running
some *nix on an NCR pc.

I know there are some incompatibilities with their machines, and
would be interested in any others findings.
